Grandiose Malice where a duo from Florida that played a raw and violent mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2018 album "The Eternal Infernal" which will be released in March by Hell's Headbangers and consists of the last material recorded by Tregenda better known for Black Witchery before the car accident that took his life.

A very dark sound along with some weird sounding guitar leads start off the album along with all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them before going into more of a heavier and melodic musical direction which also introduces black metal screams onto the recording.

When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking can be heard which also gives the music a more raw feeling while the solos also add in more of a chaotic style along with the songs also bringing in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some war metal elements also being used at times, one track also brings in a small amount of spoken word parts as well as the music also bringing in a great amount of death metal influences.

Grandiose Malice played a musical style that took the rawest element s of war, black and death metal and mixed them together to create a sound of their own, the production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover death, hell, occultism, and blasphemy themes.

In my opinion Grandiose Malice where a very great sounding mixture of black, war and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this duo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Messenger" "Bell, Book And Chalice" and "Dull Onion". 8/5 out of 10.
